Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a machine for removing salt cores trapped within pressure die-cast or injection moulded articles.
  • pressure die-cast or injection moulded articles are produced by injecting a material in liquid form--either a metal (for example aluminium) or a plastic (for example polyamides)--into a mould bearing a negative impression of the desired article. It is common practice, moreover, to place one or more cores inside the mould so as to produce articles with cavities and/or apertures of a particular shape.
  • a metal for example aluminium
  • a plastic for example polyamides
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a machine capable of rapidly removing the salt cores that remain trapped inside the articles once the latter have solidified.
  • a machine for removing salt cores trapped in pressure die-cast or injection moulded articles, characterized in that it comprises a washing tunnel, inside which there are a plurality of washing stations, a conveyor designed to advance the said articles one after the other through each of the said washing stations and a plurality of nozzles designed to project jets of saline solution on to the articles located in the said washing stations.
  • the reference numeral 1 denotes a machine designed to remove the salt cores that have remained trapped within the articles from pressure die-cast or injection moulded articles 2.
  • the machine 1 comprises a washing tunnel 3, inside which there are a plurality of washing stations 4, and a conveyor 5 designed to advance the articles 2 stepwise and one after the other inside the washing tunnel 3 along a path P that passes successively through all the washing stations 4.
  • Each washing station 4 in the machine 1 has a plurality of nozzles 6 pointing in a plurality of directions, each of which is designed to spray one or more jets of a saline solution--preferably, but not necessarily, containing the same salt as that used to make the abovementioned cores--at high pressure on to the articles 2 carried by the conveyor 5.
  • These jets of saline solution are designed to break up the salt cores that have remained trapped within the articles 2.
  • the said saline solution is, in particular, a saline solution which is saturated or supersaturated with salt so as to exploit the natural tendency of a salt in suspension in a supersaturated salt solution to precipitate, thereby making it easier to recover the salt that makes up the abovementioned cores.
  • the machine 1 also comprises a recovery tank 7 located underneath the conveyor 5 to recover the saline solution which has been sprayed on to the articles 2 and which thus carries, in suspension, the salt from which the abovementioned cores are made; a pump unit 8 designed to draw the saline solution from the recovery tank 7 so as to convey it to the nozzles 6 at a given pressure; and, lastly, a filtering device 9 designed to extract the excess salt produced by the dissolution of the salt cores from the saline solution collected in the recovery tank 7.
  • a recovery tank 7 located underneath the conveyor 5 to recover the saline solution which has been sprayed on to the articles 2 and which thus carries, in suspension, the salt from which the abovementioned cores are made
  • a pump unit 8 designed to draw the saline solution from the recovery tank 7 so as to convey it to the nozzles 6 at a given pressure
  • a filtering device 9 designed to extract the excess salt produced by the dissolution of the salt cores from the sa
  • the salt cores are broken up by the mechanical action of the jets alone and the supersaturated saline solution is only produced in the recovery tank 7 into which the salt that makes up the cores also flows.
  • the salt cores are broken up by both the mechanical action of the jets and by the abrasive action of the salt suspended in the said supersaturated saline solution and a supersaturated saline solution having a higher percentage of salt than that coming out of the nozzles 6 is formed inside the recovery tank 7.
  • the recovery tank 7 contains a supersaturated saline solution in any case, a centrifugal filter of the type currently used in the optics industry for recovering cerium oxide from processing waters can effectively be used as a filtering device 9.
  • the supersaturated saline solution leaves the recovery tank 7 via a delivery pipe 10 and is conveyed to the centrifugal filter which separates the salt in suspension from the supersaturated saline solution, the salt being discharged through a discharge pipe 11 and the filtered saline solution being fed to the pump unit 8 through a return pipe 12.
  • the centrifugal filter discharges the filtered saline solution directly into the recovery tank 7 and the pump unit 8 sucks the saline solution directly out of the said recovery tank 7.
  • the main advantage of the machine 1 is that it is capable of removing the cores trapped within the articles in a relatively short period of time (in experiments the process has taken approximately tens of minutes), and can therefore be efficiently used to remove cores in a plant for producing pressure die-cast or injection moulded articles that uses salt cores.
  • the machine 1 can effectively be combined with a conventional machine for washing articles, such as for example the SYNCRO 02/1000 washing machine produced by PA-DA S.N.C., so as to provide a unit for cleaning and washing articles which is capable of receiving articles containing salt cores trapped within them and outputting perfectly clean articles from which the salt cores have been removed.
  • a conventional machine for washing articles such as for example the SYNCRO 02/1000 washing machine produced by PA-DA S.N.C.
